Re: Lotus 72D Reine Wisell Watkins Glen -72
Yeah, I think the torsion bar system was part of Colin Chapman's "anti-dive, anti-squat" suspension. Same on Ebbro's Lotus 72C, too. No springs. The torsion bars were not used for anti-dive or anti-squat. They were used to give a rising-rate springing. When the 72 first appeared, Lotus ha...

Re: 1:12 Tyrrell 003 Driver?

Re: No F1 on Speed in 2013 (USA TV)
Wow. Several weeks ago I downgraded my cable TV to a lesser package to get rid of a bunch of premium channels that we never watched anyway, saving about $50 per month on our bill.
